Seeking to work a harvest in NZ in 2026. I have a general understanding of the NZ wine industry but seeking recent personal experiences from redditors regarding working a NZ harvest.
I would prefer a small-to-medium scale winery. Most important, is the personality of the owners / the winemaker regarding how harvest "interns" are treated. With considerations towards the accommodations provided, salary, and support. I have experience working harvests and I am not seeking a position where full training is required. I hope to work with a winemaker who respects the harvest team and where there is full gender equality (where women are considered equal players to the men).
I am primarily considering wineries in Central Otago, but I am open to other suggestions. Asking for recommendations based on personal experiences. Thank you!
